What do people get when they get me? 

 

I believe my strengths can really help me reach my goals by reminding me that I if I aim for success, I can most definitely achieve it. I need to remind myself that working well with others will contribute to success and efficiency as healthy working relationships are extremely beneficial in a professional environment. I am flexible enough that being placed in a new work environment would not hinder my performance. I learn to adapt quickly and deal with change and using it to my advantage. I learn from past mistakes and use that knowledge to help myself in future endeavors as well. It is important to learn from failure in order to move forward. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After taking the StrengthsQuest survey to find out my strengths, I found that the following were my top 5. It was interesting to see that some of them conflicted one another, but I agree with these 5 strengths.

 

First and foremost, I am an Activator; meaning that I like to get things done. If I get an idea, I like to follow through immediately. I like to brainstorm and analyze the best way to effectively execute the plan. After different experiences, I learned that it is important to get things done quickly, but efficiently. No one should wait until the last second to carry out their responsibilities.

 

This strength goes hand in hand with Adaptability, which requires one to be effective and comfortable with changing environments. I am someone who is good at going with the flow, and I am able to carry out my duties, even when put in an unfamiliar environment. Planning ahead is good, but I also take one day at a time, so I live in the now and take things as they come. 

 

This strength conflicts with my next strength: Futuristic. It is interesting because I do think it is easy to be both adaptable and futuristic. I am inspired by what the future holds and that is what drives me to do better and fulfill my duties by putting in 100%. I do at times plan out current events by how they would affect the future.

 

My next strength is Context, which enables me to really think of the past and how things that have happened affect things happening today. I do believe it is important to reflect on past experiences, and use what you learned then and apply it to your current work. I always use my past experiences, as I believe your success and failures really shape who you are. 

 

I am an Includer, as I believe that everyone has something to offer, thus, every individual is valuable to the team. Some may have trouble communicating their ideas. 

 

 

I have outlined and detailed by the core set of values in my Philosophy Statement. These are values I would never compromise and they really shape my character and person.
